Quick, Elegant and Personalized Gift Card Holder

This was inspired by an advertising card that came in the mail.  We thought it gives a personalized touch to simple gifts, such as  gift cards, homemade CDs, etc.


Materials & Tools:

• Double side paper (a heavier stock helps)
• Razor Blade or X-acto knife
• Raffia or Ribbon
• DVD or other object with different diameter sizes to use as a guide

Step 1 Measure & fold

Use the round object to measure the center area. The example is the size of a DVD.  You can also make them in other sizes using round objects with smaller or larger diameters.

Start with a square piece of paper that is 2 times the width of the longest side of your gift. (in this case a DVD)

Place the DVD in the center of the paper sheet.

Fold each side of the paper over the DVD in a straight line, as shown in the pictures.
